In this week's issue of the Heroes Graphic Novel, the loose threads of previous weeks are being slowly tied together. It was a little confusing two weeks back when "The Golden Goose" ended with a "To Be Continued..." and then last week was a seemingly unrelated story about a high school student named Matt Neuenberg, who has superhuman memory (not unlike Hiro's ill-fated love, Charlie).
This week it starts to make some sense.
Since the last issue, Charlie... oops, I mean Matt has begun his work for the Company as a computer programmer. Elle still visits him in his cell/room and taunts him (no cake this time though). After a little bit of snappy patter between the two, Elle ducks out to grab a donut (what, no waffle reference?) leaving Matt to stew and silently resign himself to a life of imprisonment under the Company's watchful eye... or so he thinks. |

Ugh. The title alone should give you a hint as to how bad the comic was this week.
The Heroes Graphic Novel hits an all-new low this week as they introduce Matt Nuenberg, who's special ability is that he's really, really smart. That's it. No laser beam eyes, or super speed, or diamond-hard skin... just really smart.
What really gets me is how incredibly original the issue is (sarcasm). Let's do the run-down, shall we?
Matt Neunberg:
 is a high school student who doesn't fit in
feels alienated by his powers
is discovered by the Company
is betrayed by the Company.
Gee... how astoundingly creative. Someone send that writing staff a fruit basket.

Ok, sing it with me, everyone: "Goooooooold fingah! (bwa-waaa-waaa)"
This weeks issue of the Heroes Graphic Novel takes us to far away Bhutan, where we learn a valuable lesson: don't mess with Company Bob. The issue involves the whereabouts of Richard Drucker, the focus of the Heroes: Evolution ARG, and quite frankly... I don't really care.
Maybe it's me. Maybe I just don't give a crap about all these marketing gimmicks disguised as fan-powered games. Maybe I just don't like storylines that compete with the main thread of the TV show. Maybe I'm just picky. Whatever the reasons, this issue falls completely flat for me, so it's only fitting that the issue begins with Richard Drucker and his pilot "Goose" (because all pilots are legally required by the FAA to choose handles from Top Gun) crash landing his plane in the mountains of Bhutan. |
